This post got my brain so scrambled, I leaned over and eas-i-l-y cracked my hegg. I turned over, sunny side up, and just fried on the sidewalk until mi madre said, omellete chu fry out here, pero, I have tacos for deeeener.
Well for sake of argument ...the egg in question is not fertilized....right .....then no future chicken ...no soul..ya?...which always leads to the same question...why did the chicken cross the road....perhaps to find a randy rooster.
I just had an awsome game!
My first move was a misclick, but I guess it destroyed his concentration mwahahaha
I think that is called a "Fools mate"...I could be wrong.

If this is also valid for birds, I think it would mean that eggs have a soul? A chicken soul obviously, but a soul nevertheless.
I wonder what the egg-soul is experiencing. It does now have any sense organs, but maybe it has a sort of experience of existing and being a yolk?
Not quite the same, but I read some time ago that Buddhists believe that the soul enters the human foetus (obviously a fertilised egg), after a certain known time...Apparently the pineal gland makes it's first appearence at this time. The pineal being the traditional "third eye" of mystic tradition.

The soul was invented to justify the invention of heaven. It's all superstious nonsense.
Also, the people who believe this ridiculous stuff think it's only for them. The other species don't get the special treatment.
It most certainly was not. The Greeks invented it in the 5th Century BC, and they didn't believe in no heaven, they believed in Hades.
In common with other early ancient theories of living things, Democritus seems to have used the term psychê to refer to that distinctive feature of living things that accounts for their ability to perform their life-functions. According to Aristotle, Democritus regarded the soul as composed of one kind of atom, in particular fire atoms. This seems to have been because of the association of life with heat, and because spherical fire atoms are readily mobile, and the soul is regarded as causing motion

That reminds me of a strawman someone used against me the other day when I doubted the existence of Jesus, he automatically suggested I didn't believe in God....
Eggs are not Fertilized yet. They are Haploid, i.e. they only contain
half of the genetic material required to make a whole organism. Therefore they have no soul, chicken or otherwise.

Louis Cyphre: You know, some religions think that the egg is the symbol of the soul, did you know that?
Harry Angel: No, I didn't know that.
Louis Cyphre: Would you like an egg?

The fertilized eggs are fertilized, thus they have souls.
